SHENZHEN, China, Jan. 7, 2013 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Mindray Medical
International Limited ("Mindray," NYSE: MR), a leading developer, manufacturer
and marketer of medical devices worldwide, today announced a statement on
Masimo Corporation's lawsuit against Mindray.
On December 21, 2012, Masimo Corporation ("Masimo") brought an action in the
United States District Court for the Central District of California against
Mindray DS USA Inc. and Shenzhen Mindray Bio-Medical Electronics Co., Ltd.
Masimo alleges that Mindray DS USA, Inc.'s U.S. Beneview pulse oximeters and
sensors infringe its nine asserted patents relating to pulse oximeters and
sensors, and that Shenzhen Mindray Bio-Medical Electronics Co., Ltd breached
its Purchase and License Agreement dated November 13, 2002, as amended, by
failing to use best efforts to promote adoption of Masimo's oximeter
technology. In addition to monetary damages, Masimo is seeking injunctive
relief preventing further sale of Beneview products incorporating Mindray
oximetry boards in the United States.
Mindray intends to vigorously defend the actions.
